I’m 34!
Last year I wrote this post about my birthday and I thought I would pop in today with a similar sentiment. A book I read recently described birthdays as “not a day to celebrate progress…[but] a day to celebrate existence.” And I thought, yes! That is exactly how I feel. Because what a treat to Continue reading

I Am 33 and…
Today is my birthday! Fun fact: I don’t love my birthday! Not because I don’t like celebrating another year of being alive, but because I don’t like the attention. I feel more self-conscious on my birthday than any other day because it’s home to the most surprises, and I hate surprises even more than I Continue reading

It was a happy day filled with good food, lots of sunshine, and a big reminder of the many good things (and especially good people) I have in my life.

A Few Challenges for My Birthday
As of yesterday, my 28th birthday is officially one month away! This is both alarming and exciting. I’m not necessarily intimidated by the prospect of being 28, but then again it’s like, woah, I’m going to be 28?! You know? Anyways, in order to welcome in age 28, I’ve decided to do a few challenges. Continue reading

Why You Should Always Say Happy Birthday Early
From everything I’ve read, it seems it’s very bad luck to wish someone happy birthday before their actual birthday. Apparently it’s too wishful of thinking, or something. A “don’t catch your chickens before they hatch” type of deal. I get it. A birthday wish, if it were to be defined, is essentially a two-word celebration Continue reading
